women picking the rags from one huge
pile and sorting them swiftly and appaT-
emily almost automatically. The red
ones were thrown into one barrel, the
black ones into another, and those that
had once been white into another, as
rapidly and accurately as mail is sorted
in a postotfice. Only one of the women
could speak English. She was healthy
looking female of perhhpS twenty years.
'These rags come on the ears" she said,
in answer to the reporters question,
"'and we pick them over, and they are
all put up i'll bundles and carried away.
We put the colors by themselves and it
isn't very hard work, but it is dirty"
Amt you afraid of catching the
smallpox"
''oh, no." she said with laugh, "they
are healthy"
How much do you get a day for
doing this work?" asked the reporter.
I'VE pick them by their weight" she
replied, land we can make about Sc or
81 a week.
The women wore turbans closely
pinned over their heads apparently to
keep the dust out of their hair, for as
the rags were moved about there was Il
constant cloud of fine dirt sent sailing
through the air.
Its tough for women to spend their
lives in that dark, dirty place at So a
week." said gentleman who accom-
panied the reporter to the place, as the
two came out into the air again.

possibly with his senses gone, he
crawled out and into the sunshine,

Made answer the Indian corn.

II kissed, i'll passing, the angels feet"
From her leafy bed the violet saith:

The weed by the wayside bowed its head.
HE gave me the power to heal" it said.

Caught the sweet song on the evening air,
And said. with IL happy happy sigh:

WHITE HOUSE CHILDREN.
No Babies Ever Born There---A
President Pulled Out of Bed.


So far no president has had child
born to him in the White house, and
most of the presidents have died child
less. Washington was very ford of
children, but none came to bless his
marriage. Jefferson was widOwer of
ten years standing when he was elected
president, and Madison died having had
no issue. Andrew JacksOn's children
were all adopted ones, and his adopted
son, Andrew Jackson Donelson, had a
baby born in the White house. jackson
was very fond of this baby, and for
mer tutor at the Hermitage tells me that
he used to wheel its carriage up and
down the East room for hours at time,
writes a Washington correspondent of
the Bath News.
Van Buren, was a widower when
elected, and his son, Prince John Van
Buren,, was young man at this time.
He was very lively young man, too,
and he had not much respect for the
dignity of his father. The two acted
as though they were of the same age in
regard to their relations with each
other, and at one time it is related that
Martin Van Buren, had great deal of
trouble in getting John to rise early.
He finally made all arrangement with
him that the first one up after certain
time was to have a right to pull the
other out of the bed. John had himself
called, and watched carefully. Finally
one morning he caught the president
mapping, and slipping into his chamber
he jerked him onto the floor. This is
the only time, it is said, that president
was pulled out of bed.
Harrison and Taylor were old when
they entered the White house. Buchan-
an was bachelor, and l do not think
John Quincy Adams had any children
after he was elected president. Presi-
dent Lincoln's boy Tad made things
lively when his father was president,
and little Nellie Arthur was the bright
est spot in her fathers administration.

Gents.
Mrs. Kate Fuller had just washed her
kitchen floor, when George Biesenger
came to the door to collect the rent, says
Jackson (Mich.) paper. His feet were
muddy, and Mrs. Fuller waved her
broom in his face with an exclamation
that meant danger. Mr. Biesenger
pushed his way in, however, and i'm the
course of the quarrel that followed
dirtied Mrs. Fuller'S floor in way to
make housewives heart sick AS soon
as he had gone Mrs. Fuller called in
nearly dozen of her women neighbors
to view the ruin and appear as witnesses
in the suit she at once began against
Biesenger. The trial occurred and
mean time the novel case had
been nOised abroad SO widely that
the court room was crowded.
principally with ladies, none of whom
had ever been inside of courtroom be-
fore. The case was hotly contested. but
Mrs. Fuller lost some sympathy by con-
Tossing that she soundly belabored
BieSenger with her broom Oh the occa-
sion of his visit, and thereby added to
the dirtying of the floor. The Jury was
out four hours. Meantime Mrs. Fuller
held levee, surrounded by a score of
women whose floors had all been too
often muddied by careless men. There
was great excitement when the Jury an
nounced that a verdict had been
reached, and great Indignation when it
was known they gave only 25 cents to
Mrs. Fuller. The married men on the
jury were almost afraid to 60 home.
They claim that the verdict was scalped
down by the votes of unmarried Jurors.
and that anyhow larger verdict would
have had tendency to flood the courts
with litigation instituted by speculative
women whose floors have suffered from
muddy boots.

DAVE NAPLES SHOT.
n United States Deputy Marshal Shot by
Outlaw.

an Outlaw.
TAHLEQUAH, /. T., May 6.-Tuesday
Deputy United States Marshal Dave Naples
and his son, son of Congressman Peele,
of Arkansas, and a Mr.. Jeffreys, of BentCsl-
vile, started from Bentonville to Fort Glib
son, l. T., where Naples expected to make
some arrests. They arrived here Wedpes-
day and pitched a tent near spring in the
north part of town. The same evening
they were returning from a visit up town,
andNbout ten yards from the spring Naples
put his left foot on foot log when Jeffer-
son cried out: ''Look out, Dan. Don't you
see that man standing at the other
end of the log with his pistol pointing to-
ward usl' Naples replied: ''Oh, he is not
going to shoot" but he had hardly uttered
these words ere the man fired, and the bull
let went through Naples chest coming out
at the backbone. Notwithstanding the
shot and mortal wound, Naples got up from
where he fell and fired three shots at his
assailant, without effect, after which he
fell and asked to be taken to DR.. Blacks.
The assassin did not stop here, but fired
In rapid succession eleven shots at Jeffer-
son, who in turn fired six at him. The as
sassin, having emptied both his revolvers,
ran about 100 yards up the creek and
whooped, and this was the last heard of
him. Naples was then picked up and car
ried to DR.. Blacks residence, where he
breathed his last yesterday at - 30 p. IN
Young Peele says of the dead officer: mo
truer man lived. He was all through the war
with my father and made brave soldier.
Dave was at the battle of Corinth when my
uncle, Senator Berry, was shot and lost his
leg. He and Judge Plttman were the ones
to pick up Senator Berry and carry him to
a resting place.
